Gov. Paterson resting after 2nd eye procedure

This morning at approximately 10:15 a.m., Governor David Paterson underwent an iridotomy on his right eye as a prophylactic measure – the same routine, outpatient laser procedure he had earlier in the week to relieve acute glaucoma in his left eye, according to the governor’s press office.

Dr. John Danias, an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, the same doctor he saw earlier in the week, oversaw the governor’s treatment.

Paterson is now at home and resting comfortably. He is looking forward to spending time with his family over the long holiday weekend, according to the press release.
